3. Students will demonstrate an understanding of safe, ethical, legal, and moral practices related to digital information and technology.
6. Students will demonstrate a knowledge of new media literacy and ways to best equip young people to succeed in a global interconnected, multicultural world.
Digital Citizenship is part of our NETS standards. Watching the PBS documentaries, you will see how youth of today are using technology in positive and some negative ways. The overwhelming question that comes to my mind over and over again, is "Who is responsible for teaching our youth how to be responsible using technology and when should it start?"
You will be responsible for answering and participating in a google discussion page that is posted here. Please change your color of your font to show each response so we know who is who when answering. Feel free to comment and discuss anything further that jumps out at you about the movies.
You are in charge of ensuring all of the NETS standards are met within your school and this week you must meet with teachers to explain what it means to be a good "digital citizen". By using resources you have discovered through your research, the PBS Frontline videos, short video clips you have come across, explain how you would "teach" your fellow teachers about digital citizenship so that they are better prepared to teach about it within their own classes before they begin any type of digital project.
